Germun Syrup, within n few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is, without
doubt, the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for tho speedy aud efectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
lung troubles. 1t acts on an entirely diff
ferent principle from the usual prescrip-
tons given by physicians, as it does not
dry up a cough aud leave the disease still
in the system, but on the contrary removes
the cause Of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in a purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in the
house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors bills
and a long spell of serious illness. Atrial
will convince you Of these facts. 1t is

dealers in the land. Price, IS cents. large

Even in the most insignificant details
the absolute authority and supervision OF
the old German emperor are felt as re-
CARDS anything connected with military
organization. The princess imperial had
embroidered with her own hands u flag,
which was to be presented in great pomp
to the veterans of the Second regiment
of hussars. Of which she is the honorary
commander. At the last moment the
ceremony was countermanded. and
eventually postponed for II month, be-
cause the princess had embroidered two
initials and II star on the flag without OBJ
tanning the authorization to do so from
the emperor. who alone can give it. The

The predisposing causes of ANGER arc
in the habits of the patients themselves.
Just "a civilization 10 the cause of the
strain hat wrecks so many intellects, 80
it ID also the cause OF depressing the
animal vitality of the individual, and
brings in its train this dread disease.
The main cause of this disease is ''estab-
lislied wealth and n state Of luxury"
Tho appetite for eating meat and highly
seasoned foo is INDUCED, and can be
regulated and habitually indulged, only
in n state Of established civilization, with
communities engaged in accommodating
fortunes and vieing with each other in
sumptuous living. These conditions, to-
gether with habits of Incidence and in
sufficient exercise, cause an accumula-
ton of the waste products in the system
which predisposes to cancer. Then, an
accidental bruise, or reversal of fortune
with mental depression, or any other
exciting cause, may develop this terrible
disease.
The lesson is obvious. People should
live more frugally and take plenty Of
exercise in the open air, and, in short,
follow hygienic modes of living, and the
danger of cancer is much more remote.
The cure may be difficult, but prevention
eeems TO be in the power of the indi-
vidual-Medical Summary.

Where do they (the fur seals go to-
Certainly not nortliward, for it is wei
known that not a single seal is 10 Ia
found north Of the Pribyloys, and the
floating ice of winter prevents any con
grreation of amphibious life. There is
then the southwark, the enormous 81
p,inse of sea south of the Alcutian cham,
1000 miles of water between japan and
Oregon swarming with the natural food
of the seal-fsh. They can have no
resting place or it would be known; they
must therefore spend all their time afoat,
seeing that they sleep at sea Just as COM
fortably as, or perhaps more so than on
land. They lie on their backs, fold the
fore hippers across tho breast, turn the
hind ones up and over, so that the tips
rest on their necks and chins, thus ox-
posing only the nose and the heels Of the
hind hippers above water, nothing else
being seen. Here is no poetical fancy,
but Il prosaic fact. rocked in the cradle
OF The deep"
One cannot but think of the enormous
quantity of fish they must get through.
The Common seal. such as we see in our
aTiaria, has evidently Il most voracious
appetite, and never seems to DO able to
get as much as he can do with. Con-
slider, then, the weight that must he on
suIned in the year by the fur seal, several
times its size, roaming bout under thor
oughly natural conditions in its natural
element, instead Of being cooped up with
in the four walls of u tank.
As Il matter Of fact. the hosts Of fur
seal produce a notable scarcity Of fish
around the Pribylovs. 1t is perfectly
hopeless to. throw q line over the gunwalo
Of Il boat. You must go out at least
gevcn or eight miles, and then you n
get nothing but very large halibut. Prac-
italy the sea for 100 miles eSound is
cleared OF fish. 1t Is computed that
forty pounds per day is rather a starva-
ton allowance for an adult male, twelve
pounds to a female, and not much, if
am, less for the fast growing pups.
Allow an average of ten pounds per in
dividual per day, and calculate what
A, 200, 900 Of 5000, 900 would consume
every day-only 1000, 900 tons or so
Why, all the fishing of the world il but
a drop in the bucket compared with this.
We must remember, too, that the seal is
only one Of the many creatures which
prey on fish. | can well believe what is
asserted by many well informed people,
that the supply OF sea fish is ~inexhausti-
BILE by any means known to man. All
